2008 Accord, 18K miles, 1-step exterior and complete interior detail.
This car belongs to the same owner of the Honda Element that I had the paint wrinkle issue with. The car was VERY clean and I really only found one minor paint defect which is shown below.
Process was to first wash with Meguiars Gold Class car soap, using a soft wash mitt and the 2 bucket method. I used P21S Wheel gel on the wheels and let it dwell while I washed the exterior. I then agitated them with my EZ brush. Tires were cleaned with Amazing Roll Off and scrubbed with a stiff brush. Wheel wells were cleaned with Meguairs APC+.
Wheel gel dwelling
The paint was then clayed using Meguiars Clay and Last Touch as lube. The was a fair amount of bonded surface contaminants, though the below pic doesn't look as bad as it did in person
Clay after half the hood
This was the only visable paint defect
Interior was given a thorough vacuum and was then purged with air. Carpets and matts were cleaned using the LGM with Folex solution. Vinyl was clean with 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Plastic Cleaner. Seats were clean with Meguiars APC. I also gave all the fabric a 3M Scotch Guard treatment.
Hi
A gave the exterior a 1-step buff using Meguiars M205 via the Flex DA and a black LC classic foam pad. While there was no visible marring, this process definitely added some gloss....heck even my girl noticed the difference.
LSP was Zaino Z2/ZXF (x3) with Z8 wipe down the next morning. Tires were dressed with Meguiars Hyper Dressing at 3:1. Glass was done with Meguiars D120 glass cleaner. All exterior lamps were polished with M205 and then protected with ZAIO. Wheels were also given a once over with ZAIO
After pics...car is cool green color, but the pics don't reflect it very well IMO.
Thanks for looking! :wavey:

ut: Turns out it had a salvage title too, and when I looked at the car it was in very poor shape with LOTS of old dried compound in the cracks everywhere. I'm actually kind of glad he canceled because of the amount of work it needed....though it would have been nice for my portfolio
